Georgia Governor Appoints Anti-Enforcement Immigration Activist to Board of Corrections

While many Georgia conservatives are left scratching their heads in outrage, the far-left wing of the state’s illegal alien lobby is applauding Republican Governor Nathan Deal for his recent appointment of one of their own to the state’s Board of Corrections.
Mrs. Rocio Del Milagro Woody, along with Jane Fonda, is a “Founding Friend” of the Georgia Association of Latino Elected Officials (GALEO), and she was sworn in for a five-year term on the corrections board on September 26. GALEO proudly announced the appointment in a September press release.
Woody is also a member of the GALEO board of directors.
Led by a former Mexican American Legal Defense and Educational Fund employee and Democrat-candidate fundraiser Gerardo E. (Jerry) Gonzalez, GALEO is well-known around the Peach State for staging and participating in illegal alien rallies, advocating for a repeat of the 1986 amnesty for illegals, and marching in the streets of Atlanta demanding an end to enforcement of American immigration laws.
GALEO has also been active in organizing and lobbying against passage of Georgia’s laws aimed at protecting jobs, benefits, and services from the impact of illegal immigration. Gonzalez is noted by many state legislators for his angry and often disrespectful remarks to committee members considering illegal immigration legislation. In addition, GALEO lobbied against passage of Georgia’s E-Verify laws in 2006 and 2011.
Deal signed the 2011 comprehensive illegal immigration legislation into law in May of that year, as well as a bill aimed at fine-tuning that law after the 2013 session.
According to the Georgia Constitution, the state board of corrections “shall have such jurisdiction, powers, duties and control of the State Penal System and the inmates thereof as shall be provided by law… The Board of Corrections shall be appointed by the Governor with the consent of the Senate.”
Because the Georgia General assembly does not convene again until the 2014 session begins in January, that body will not consider Woody’s appointment until next year. Nevertheless, according to an official in Governor Deal’s office, Woody is currently a “fully functioning board member.”…
